I don't know if they are taught that or if that particular handler came up with it himself, but it was brilliant. The Dog Handler was a character with a shaved head and a really happy disposition. He acted as though was exactly what he expected to happen.

I wouldn’t know - thank you for your service. And your great story!
In high school we had a long-term substitute that had been in Vietnam. Every Friday he would spend half the class with his homemade slides and telling stories. (It WAS a history class...)
